[VRRP] vrrpv3 with global IPv6

I've been discussing this with a few people this week
and thought that it was worth asking this list.

rfc5798 says in section 5.2.9

   For IPv6, the first address must be the IPv6 link-local address
   associated with the virtual router.

It implies that a global address can be associated
with the virtual router, but some routers
implement link-local capability only becuase only the
link-local address is mentioned here.

The problem is, operators need global scope addresses with
virtual routers and we have to ask each vendor to
implement it if they have not already done so. The main
reason we need this is becausewe need to monitor the address
from a remote network as we do with IPv4.

I just joined this list, but can someone
tell me what was the thinking was  behind not
mentioning global addresses in this RFC?

Thank you

Regards,
Seiichi
